1. Epithelial tissue: This tissue covers the surfaces of the body, lines internal organs and cavities, and forms glands. Epithelial tissue is responsible for protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.
2. Connective tissue: This tissue supports and connects other tissues and organs. Connective tissue is characterized by its cells being scattered in a matrix of extracellular material, which can be solid, semi-solid, or liquid. Examples include bone, cartilage, blood, and adipose tissue.
3. Muscle tissue: This tissue is responsible for movement. Muscle tissue is composed of cells that can contract and relax. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
4. Nervous tissue: This tissue transmits information throughout the body. Nervous tissue is made up of neurons, which are specialized cells that can transmit electrical signals.
